I'm only a couple of hours away, it's been nice and cool, perfect for shipping, but summer sipping days are quickly slipping away as fall sets upon us.

Did you not get the email from WD asking people about which shipping option they wanted? If not, then you'll be getting yours during the last week of September when he does the next round of shipments.

Why yes I did, which I promptly replied that I'd like option #1, hence the inquiry. Capiche?

Any chance we can get an update on shipping? I'm not keen on spending ANOTHER Thursday and Friday camped out at the house, wondering when, IF, the wine will show up... I honestly don't really care when I get the wine, but having the correct information would make the experience less frustrating.

Your shock? Imagine the surprise at our wine locker storage when the pallet of wine (Tim's, mine, and a 3rd?) arrives in Irvine!

Yes, you read that right. A pallet!

By the way, if you're still lurking in here, WD, thank you so much for expending so much time and effort into providing this service to us for shipping. I'm sure Amazon wouldn't look too kindly on the cost that this must be to you/your company - good thing they only own Woot and not Wine Country Connect

Ah, so you are the 3rd one. WD called to make sure they could pallatize our wine.

Not really, I just had a better idea of what I spent the first time because SWMBO was all over me about it...this time I was focused far more on my job as Chief Tour Guide and Irreverent Commmentator than on what I was buying.

Indeed. There are advantages to an SWMBO who has a black square of her own.

Twenty Two, (WD count on the phone) actually turned out to be seventeen. Five more to pick up and I have no idea what they are.
Got lots of Scott Harvey, Wellington, Dry Creek, Wm. Harrison, Pedroncelli, Corison and Hall; so far...

I have this sneaky suspicion they sent my Scott Harvey wine to you, even though I clearly had the lady collecting the money document the order....oh well.

But this doesn't include the five + cases I drove back that weren't shipped.

I went back and looked. On the 2008 tour, I was teased about how much I bought, and that was only 10 cases - see the "wine-lapse photography" I posted earlier in this thread. (I also joined the wine clubs at Wellington and Corison.)

This trip was 162 bottles - counting magnums x2 - and I still blame HAK and Cheron for Corison. That includes both what WD is shipping and what we carted home, but excludes Hall and Iron horse, because I don't know what I got there, but I'll guess 6 more bottles to bring the total to 14 cases. (And I joined the wine club at Martini.)

Hey now, neither of us forced you to buy 2 of everything she was selling. And it's not like she extended a 30% discount to everyone that day - just me

(Yes, not even HAK got the 30%. Just me. It is good to be the bride to be)

Just think of all the things you blame Sparky for - and doesn't he deserve it?

Nope, all blame goes to Corrado!
